The holiday season is upon us, and for most of us, that means long lazy summer days, swimming, visiting relatives and invariably, a little over indulgence. But it doesn't have to mean that your training will come to a standstill.
Here are some ideas to keep your training on track:
Plan ahead. Before you arrive on their doorstep, let your relatives know that you're going to want to run during your stay. They'll appreciate the advance notice, and they can give you recommendations for when to run, so your runs won't interfere with family plans.
Run early in the morning. You're less likely to disturb family plans if you run first thing in the morning, rather than trying to squeeze your run in sometime during the day. Try to get out the door before the rest of the house wakes up.
Ask family members to join you. See if anyone in the family wants to run with you. You may have to run a slower pace than you're used to, but use it as a recovery run. Even if no one else in the family runs, you can head to a local trail or track and see if anyone wants to walk while you run.
